Hi. Chances are you won't need to be there at rehearsal every single night. If the director has his poop in a group he/she will have a rehearsal schedule that will specify what scenes will be worked and when. By looking at that schedule you should be able to determine when you will have to be present. If you have any questions ask the stage manager (that's what they're there for) and make sure you are clear on when and where you are to be. Another word of advice: Be early for every rehearsal by 15 minutes at least. If you're in school during the rehearsals then be prepared to take your homework with you so you can do that during down times. Make the most of your rehearsal time. Also, make sure you're around when it's your time to be on stage. Don't make the stage manager go looking for you. If you're always around and ready to go your chances of being in another show will increase. Break a leg!!!

What does your age have to do with it? There is probably a lot of work to do to get the entire cast prepared for the performance next month, especially if it's a musical. I hope you didn't think acting was something that would not require a major time commitment.
If you want to be in the play, you will have to be there for the rehearsals. It's as simple as that. Otherwise, drop out and let your part be given to someone else who IS willing to put in the time.

Two hours is actually short for a rehearsal. I do wonder about the "every day" part- that seems extreme and will not allow for many other activities, and may cut into your studies. Four or five days a week is usually sufficient if people are doing their memorization and preparation outside of rehearsals. If it is truly EVERY day, think carefully about if you are prepared for that type of commitment.

I gotta agree with your answerers that 2hrs is a short rehearsal time. maybe that is why it is now through Sept 20. I would think rehearsing 7 days a week is a bit much. Do you know how to behave at rehearsal? If you write me at kencosp@aol.com, I will send you a list of rehearsal behaviour habits you should develop if you are going to be an actor.

Ha! You think THAT'S long?
If this is something you're interested and you enjoy, that's how it goes. If you played a sport, you'd have practice everyday for at least two hours, and games on the weekend. Its the same thing. Your dedication should not be a problem. Your social calendar will have to wait, dear. The show must go on!

That's showbiz, kid. ;]
But honestly, just be glad it's not more. When I was 14, we rehearsed for much longer than two hours per day.
If you enjoy doing it, it's worth it in the end, though.

Oh sweetheart, 2 hours is NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your rehearsals should be longer... I don't see how you can get much done in 2 hours!
